Jean Paul Quotes

If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.

If you don't know where you're going, you will probably end up somewhere else.

You have to know where you were going in order to get there.

You've got to think about big things while you're doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.

Always have a plan, and believe in it. Nothing happens by accident.

Vision with action is a daydream; action without vision is a nightmare.

One of the challenges of a good policy is trying to figure out what your priorities are.

If you don't have that vision for the end goal, you have no clue where you're going, and you're going to work very hard to go nowhere.

I'm a big fan of intention. That's because I have learned first-hand the power of setting my intention on my goal and making all decisions based off of that intention.

I think it helps if you have a clear vision of what you want.

I start with an end in mind. In everything.

Things have to be made to happen in a way you want them to happen. Without management, without the intervention of organized willpower the desired result simply cannot be obtained.
